What if he shoots me in the face?
What if he shot him in the face!
"Don't shoot me bro! Don't shoot me! I didn't do anything *blam* OOOOOWW OWWWWW...........ow.............o.............."
Coming to the Summer 2008 Fubu street fashion line...
In other news, police beatings of minorities in LA, Chicago, and NYC are up.
(Yes it was a little racist, but you laughed, didn't you?)
I sure did. . .I feel bad now. . .
no, the cops are just going to shoot you with a real gun now.
My friend in NYC all they do is shoot you know questions asked
Only a cracker would think black people still wear FUBU. LOL that went out of style around 5 years ago. Police don't tase black people, they shoot them, so even the context of the joke is off. HA!
They should make this spray-on and every protester or activist will have 10 in their closet. I'd invest if they accomplished that.
Nah it wasn't that funny, but the - don't shoot me bro - was. I don't think it will have an effect on tazings because I doubt the majority of people who have the potential to get tazed actually read or watch the news. Maybe there will be a bunch of pimple faced teens that get the shirt and then walk around trying to provoke cops to taze them. Now that would be a funny sight. I could imagine one of our L.A. County Sherrifs just slapping him out of the way. Minority beatings are down . . . I think they'd just beat white kids these days.
I saw a middle-aged Japanese man wearing a FUBU sweatshirt last week in Tokyo. FUBU is certainly still in style here yo!
How much do you wanna bet that the guy that got tazed came up with the idea?
"DON'T TASE ME BRO!!! DON'T TASE ME...I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING... OOOWWWW OOOWWWWWW"
Ahhh I love hearing that line/watching the video.

Cuz it is really is funny seeing someone ask a question and be abused by 7 police officers for it.
You should try getting arrested, then you can egg all the police officers on as you drop chrowz and wave that flabby hot pocket butt at their man-sticks
you CAN'T taze me, bro !!!!
HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't tase this. *cue music*
"Thor Shield ensures you can't tase me, bro!"...... OH REALLY? * tases his face* gota rethink that shield, boy.
It's illegal to use a taser above the neck.
Those probes dont exactly have laser guiding precision ya know.
Just save some time and where a shirt that says "Tasers are ineffective against this garment, please use your firearm and aim for center mass”
So now you can _pretend_ to be tazed, and then, when the cops go to handcuff you for asking John Kerry a long question, you can spring into action! And get beaten up the old fashion way.
This joke is getting old
do they make thor shield cups? not that i get tased, but if i did, i definitely wouldn't want to get zapped in the nads
Sounds like great protection... when they try and tase you and figure it's not working they'll simply draw a gun instead! That's better?
Besides, is anyone really going to be wearing this all the time to ensure they don't get tased?
What a waste of time...
Exactly what kind of person would need the reassurance of being taze-proof "all the time?"
Tazing seems reserved for special occasions. So does this shirt.
Ever heard of pepper spray? Did you? And about murder charges? Did you?
Jesus what dumbasses in this thread.
I'd buy it. Way too much tazing going on here. Citizens aren't interested in bulletproof jackets, but they are in this? What does that say about law enforcement?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm more afraid of being tazed than being shot. Not because there's lots of tazerings, but because, if you're shot (and you're white), the cop better have a damn good reason for it, or he'll get crucified. If, however, he tazers you, he doesn't really have to have a good reason for it.
The race thing is so old. Everyone knows, only hispanics get treated terribly by the L.A.P.D. these days . . . unless of course the cops are hispanic . . .
bundy stunner anyone?
As far as I understand it, this material stops contact tasings. A light weight t shirt would not stop the probes, so if someone fires a taser at you, you need a flak jacket as well as the t shirt.
I am told that there is a technique that can break the probes off - something about immediately falling and rolling away from the taser, but I've never tried it, so I can't vouch for its efficacity.
So...The same method applies for whether you're on fire or you've been tazed? Stop, drop and roll? Once you've been tazed I suspect you don't have much control over your actions...
Stop, drop, and roll also works for lava and nuclear fallout.
I don't know what all the excitement is about, it still doesn't protect you from pepper spray.
Good. Now we can go back to shooting / killing people who resist authority. Way to go anti-taser community!
you know i am corrections officer and i use the x 26 taser and i tell u what i know that stuff will be very pricey and if u have to go through all of that not to be tased u need to be shot lol
Too funny. It'll just turn into a "beat me with a stick" scenario instead of a tazering.
You can't taze that!
*whack!*
Hammer time!
*dumm du du dum*
i hate these comments. i hope you all don't ever get ahold of this material.
best.....headline.....ever.....
I want to thank mr friggles for being the only commenter who didn't piss me off.
wow I might be able to survive Vancouver airport with one of these
That's okay -- now instead of tazing, officers can beat you with a baton. Nice upgrade eh? I'd rather be tazed.
